Want to Start a Blog, Gain a Following, Help People and Make Some Money Doing It?

Having a blog has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life so far. I’ve been able to connect with lots of great, adventurous people. Every week I’m answering a dozen or so emails from readers who want advice about this or that and I’m even pulling in a decent amount of money each month! It’s been an awesome ride and I honestly believe anyone who wants to make money online needs to start with blogging.

A blog, for me, is the central hub of every other entrepreneurial effort. All the money I make online sprouts in one way or another from Wage Slave Rebel. It’s just become an absolutely essential tool for growing my business.

And now, I want to help you do the same. If you have ever wanted to start a blog, gain a following, help lots of strangers accomplish their goals, provide useful information, gain authority in your field and make some money while inciting a revolution — or if you already have a blog and you just aren’t sure how to take it to the next level — then I’m here to help you make that happen!

The Plan

Initially, I had planned to write an ebook titled “How to Blog a Revolution” which would reveal, in detail, how anyone can create a successful blog while helping others succeed and supporting other good causes. The problem with this is that an ebook is just too static. It’s not alive. It depends entirely on the interpretation of someone who is inexperienced in the field and it offers no motivation whatsoever.

Blogging is social. Learning how to create and manage a successful blog should also be social. You should be able to interact with bloggers in a similar position and also to find mentors who are ahead of you in the development and growth of their blogs.

In the last couple of days I’ve been rearranging the ebook outline to better fit the model of an online course. The course will be three months long and each month will be one module. In the first module, you’ll be planning your blog. You’ll learn how to find a niche, choose a platform, decide on a name, buy a domain, set up a site and more. In the second module, you’ll be focusing on content creation. You’ll learn how to use WordPress, how to write compelling posts, how to create and maintain a library of future post topics, how to decide on a posting schedule and much more. In the third module, you’ll be focusing on promoting and launching your blog. You’ll learn how to promote your blog using social media, guest posts, forums and comment sections and how to track and analyze data to measure how successful your blog is.

Each of these modules will be broken into weekly submodules that consist of one lesson and one assignment per day. Each lesson will be accompanied by peripheral content, such as interviews, audio transcripts, videos, graphics and more. You’ll also have access to a members only forum where you can get help from other course members and more experienced bloggers.

At the end of 90 days, you should be well on your way to growing a successful blog!

If You Want To Start A Blog, I’d Like To Help

Right now, this blogging course is in its planning stages. I’ve created a draft outline and I’m in the process of finalizing it. Within one week, I’ll start to produce the actual lessons and assignments. This is where I need your help.

I need a group of 10 or 15 people to help me create this course. These people will help me create content which adequately answers the common questions aspiring bloggers have and they will be essential in helping me to perfect the content.

Participants should:

Want to start a blog.
Be able to accomplish each and every assignment on time.
Have the determination to succeed.
Have the desire to provide feedback and help perfect the course.
Have a topic for which they are absolutely passionate.
Be able to write properly. (You don’t have to be Shakespeare, you just have to know how to spell.)
Want to blog professionally or semi-professionally. (No personal bloggers.)
Speak English fluently.

How Much Will It Cost?

The finalized course should be ready by July and will cost somewhere between $75 to $100 per month for three months. Participants in the test group will be able to take part in the course for only $25 per month for three months or $70 for the entire course.

I’ve decided to charge for the test group for two reasons. First, during the creation phase I’ll have to turn down lots of my regular work and focus entirely on perfecting the course. I need to have a bit of an income during this period. Second, I want to know that participants in the creation of the course are devoted to it. The test group would obviously be more determined to push forward and to succeed if the course is something they themselves have invested in.

Want to Be in the Test Group?

If you fit the criteria above and you would like to be in the test group, fill out the form below with your name, email and the reasons you have for wanting to start a blog. If you know anyone who fits this criteria, please direct them to this page to fill out the form. Only 10 or 15 people will be selected for the test group.

Thanks so much!

Thanks to all those who have applied and to those who are interested. The test group has now been filled. We’re looking at a summer launch for the general public.
